I don’t like the word “suffering” in Buddhism. In fact I dislike it, strongly. It’s a turnoff. I don’t feel like I’m suffering. I’ve had five operations so far, and cancer, too. But I’m not suffering. But if you realize the Pali word for this term is dukkha, and that word is interpreted more as “deep dissatisfaction,” okay, that I can relate to.
